What You'll Learn:
What You’ll Learn:
- Examine how Bay Area's restrictive zoning and land use policies impact housing availability and what the city is doing to incentivize development and investment in affordable housing projects.
- Learn how the public and private sectors are collaborating to fund and deliver affordable housing projects more effectively.
- Understand the challenges and opportunities of ground-up development versus preserving existing affordable housing stock.
- Explore funding options such as low-income housing tax credits and local programs through the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development.
- Identify the regulatory and policy changes shaping the future of affordable housing development in San Francisco and beyond.
- Gain insights into how developers and architects are balancing cost and functionality to adapt affordable housing designs to modern needs.
- Discover how the latest construction methods and technologies are streamlining affordable housing development and reducing project timelines.
How You’ll Do More Business: The magic number for Bay Area’s required affordable housing units is 82,000 by 2031. To achieve this, numerous barriers must be overcome, including permitting, entitlement, funding, and the adoption of innovative design and construction methods to build faster and better products. Join us for our inaugural Affordable Housing Summit to learn how Bay Area’s leading affordable housing developers, city officials, designers, and contractors are coming together to address these challenges.
Who You’ll Meet During Networking: Owners, developers, investors, brokers, city and government officials, business consultants, architects, engineers, lawyers, accountants, and bankers.
